Just took my certification tests
VQAS (Virginia Quality Assurance Screening) and EIPA performances are done... finish my ITP in the Spring. Can't wait to start working, I get results back in December for a January internship. I am excited to have terp stories of my own one day...
Well, I felt at home in the YMCA men's locker room at age 13, but came out at 19. I am now 22, but am past my flamboyant stage. I have a straight acting partner whom I plan to build a life with when I finish school :)
VA is wicked conservative.. I hate it. I have only been with my partner for 6 months but I want the option to get married in my home state when that time comes... ugh frustrating. The polls support same sex marriage
so why not just legalize it already...
Va LGBT Marriage
A law was just passed that if a couple gets married in a state where it is legal, and moves back to a state where it is illegal, they still get benefits!!! :D :D
I am praying for Virginia... I want to get married. My partner and I have not been together that long, 6 months strong next month, but I know he is the one.
What does it mean to you? Skill-wise in ASL. Is it someone that can sign, can sign well, someone that is proficient? etc. Someone that knows the culture as well as the language? Someone that can converse comfortably in either ASL or English or whatever? Explain.
Ignorance... I am hearing myself, but I am speaking about others. They act like people that are Deaf/HOH are from Mars. I look at them, and I think to myself... did you seriously just do/say that? Where are your social skills? I don't know. Some people just make all us hearing people look...
It doesn't, believe me. Anyone that says that does not know what an Irish accent sounds like. Very different. Not sure how to describe the sound to you though, but they do not sound alike at all.
What do you think about them? Has anyone ever met one on here or elsewhere? I find them disgusting. I feel like they are making a joke out of the Deaf community...
